President's Message

March 2025

Remember – our meeting this month is at South Gate Centre. All parking is either in Southside Park or on Old Wellington St. You can drop someone off by driving up the driveway beside the kitchen. Turning around to exit may involve some backing up and multi-point turning. Please consider car-pooling. This change back to South Gate is for this month only.

EXTREMEMLY IMPORTANT – we still do not have a Vice-president on our management team. Without someone to fill this role and move up to the President’s role in September, our Probus club cannot continue. Remaining optimistic that this role will be filled and that we continue to operate, we will also be looking for members to join the management team to chair the following committees: Program, Membership, and Special Events. The current chairs will provide lots of help to get you started.

President

The following information was sent to our Probus email and we thought it might be of interest to some of our members.

The Secrets of Radar Museum is dedicated to preserving the experiences, artifacts, and history

of the men and women who helped build, develop, operate and maintain Canadian radar, here and abroad. It engages with and educates the public about the history and technology of radar in Canada, both military and civilian, by offering exhibitions, outreach, programming, and publicly accessible research facilities. The Museum aims always to provide a therapeutic and accessible setting for veterans and all visitors.

We are currently running a program for Seniors during the months of February and March 2025.

“Weather Radar and Citizen Science” This is a one hour seminar in which we explain severe

weather, weather “watches” and “warnings” as well as how to be a ground observer and

report weather conditions, and results at ground level.

This program is funded by Ontario Seniors Community Grant and is free!

We are located at 2155 Crumlin Road, London
